83 – You should sleep in today

Drop, drop.

The sound of water drops falling on a rock can be heard.

“···.”

When I naturally opened my eyes, what I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling and a dark landscape.

-Just right.

I snapped my fingers and created magic. Then, a small sphere of light appears in the air, brightening the dark vision.

Judging by the limestone walls and terrain, this appears to be a cave.

“Keuheuk…”

As I raise my body, indescribable pain comes over my whole body.

It hurts and hurts. My throbbing body feels as heavy as Mount Tai.

It was the aftermath of a reaction, and it was natural. In my life, I have never fooled a scale as much as this time.

“Wait a minute.”

While I was pondering the process by which the reaction occurred, I realized something and quickly began searching through my belongings.

I sincerely hope that the last thing I saw was a dream or an auditory hallucination.

“Chew…”

When I realized that my wish was in vain, I had no choice but to let out a thick curse.

No matter how much I waved my hand, I couldn’t catch the bead.

“What on earth are you doing?”

The skeleton that stole the beads from me.

When I think of that guy, my head starts ringing as if I was hit in the back with a hammer.

No matter how much I think about it, it’s absurd and I don’t understand it.

“Where in the world is the talking skull?”

I can assure you that in over 10,000 hours of playing the game, I have never seen anything like a talking skull.

Is that all? He searched my arms and even taunted me by rattling the bones around his mouth.

-“This marble is mine now.”

“Chew…”

I was so angry because I heard someone else say the lines I liked. I can’t seem to get over my anger.

“Ha, calm down… Let’s calm down.”

I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself.

It’s true that I’m very angry, but hasn’t it already happened anyway?

There is nothing in this world that can be solved just by getting angry.

“Once we sort out the situation…”

I killed the Duke of Astrea and Grid, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

I stabbed Grid to death myself, and saw with my own eyes the duke’s body melting in the flames.

As a reward, the level increased by 4, and the ability level also increased dramatically.

Is that all? Not only did I relinquish my thoughts of sin, but I also found a clue that I had not been able to find before.

The problem was after the reaction came.

I fell down, and the talking skeleton came to me and shook off the beads. I spent 14 precious durability points to get it.

-“This marble is mine now.”

“You bastard…”

My body trembles at the evil voice of the skeleton that echoes in my head.

Without needing to organize the situation, what I had to do right away was very clear.

“Just try to get caught.”

Separate the bones one by one and make them into healthy snacks for the dogs.

While I was making that promise, a word from the skull suddenly came to mind.

-“Hoo, it was you. His disciple.”

“No way…”

You probably don’t know the teacher, right?

“Haha, is that possible?”

The conclusion was reached quickly.

Master is the person who hates gross-looking and ugly things the most in the world.

Such a teacher is a disgusting skeleton, and he cannot possibly be acquainted with such an ugly skeleton.

“Let’s find it first.”

Let’s find him at all costs and show him the horror of humans.

With that determination, I went out of the cave.

It was a deep night with the moon hanging in the sky.

A shabby log cabin abandoned somewhere in Adenia.

“Daphne, what the hell are you…”

Malik, the skeleton, was lying on a bed full of dust, tossing his marbles in the air and muttering.

“What kind of monster have you raised?”

Malik, who had secretly watched the battle between Daphne’s disciple and the Seven Deadly Sins earlier, was truly impressed.

Actually, I didn’t intend to just watch. Aside from the man who fell in vain, the woman who appeared next was clearly one of the seven deadly sins.

It was obvious at a glance that Carmel was amazing for her age, but she never imagined that she would defeat one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Malik has lived for nearly 1,000 years, but he has only seen three people show such inaction.

Daphne Iris, a knight who was her first love and who was called the All Master by people.

That guy who was the leader and warrior who led Daphne and herself.

And Daphne’s disciple, Kamel, who defeated the Seven Deadly Sins today.

When he first saw such a camel, Malik couldn’t help but be shocked.

“I would believe it if they told me that the leader was reborn.”

Carmel and the leader had similar appearances to the point where Malik thought so. Even the power to handle it.

Is that why? Malik was glad to see Camel, but he also felt unlucky.

“I wish I was handsome too.”

It was funny to think of a skeleton that couldn’t even laugh properly.

Malik, who was ugly, saw the handsome Kamel and was happy, but at the same time, he was grumpy.

“I think it will take a while for Daphne to come anyway…”

Until then, it would be okay to play around with him a little.

Malik muttered that and felt as if his stomach had been hollowed out.

Because, 1,000 years ago, Malik was always beaten by the leader.

It’s unfair that he was always the target of ridicule, but even the leader couldn’t achieve his goal, and he’s been putting himself down until now.

Malik’s honest feelings were that he wanted to gain a mental victory by bullying even kids who looked like him.

“Well, I was planning on watching anyway.”

From what I have learned while coming here, the Chaos Church is targeting Kamel, the vessel of sin. Also, the man who was said to be a warrior is also looking for Camel.

It was clear that they would constantly target her, and Malik planned to watch over her and save her if she was in danger.

“Immanuel.”

Malik, thinking about Carmel’s bleak future, made the sign of the cross over the skull and muttered.

Numerous evil forces were a problem, but the biggest reason why Carmel’s future was bleak was Daphne’s eyes, which were full of obsession.

“Just looking at it, it seems like there are a lot of women around.”

From what she observed, at least four pretty women seemed to have complicated and delicate feelings for Camel.

“Immanuel.”

Recalling old memories, especially Daphne’s colorful past, Malik mourned Kamel sincerely.

Maybe it was because of the empty potion next to me.

When I opened my eyes and went outside, less than a day had passed since the grid was taken down.

For me, who was worried about how many days had passed, it was fortunate, and when I went out, the place I headed straight to was Lily’s room, not the dormitory.

It is not out of selfish interest.

However, since Lily was the person near me whose status was high and whose information power was the greatest, she only visited her to get her information.

I entered Lily’s room secretly as usual and asked her.

First of all, do you know anything about talking skulls?

“Oh, Mr. Caramel.”

It must have been a pretty tiring day today. As soon as she saw my face, Lily, who had grabbed my hand and not let go until now, answered with her eyes wide open.

“Why are you talking about a skull-and-puller who suddenly came to me?”

Lily tilted her head as she said that, and I had to swallow a bitter feeling inside.

Honestly, even as I was saying this, I felt a sense of shame as I wondered what kind of nonsense this was.

“···By the way, have you heard any news?”

I quickly gave up on getting information about the talking skeleton from Lily and asked her.

I defeated the Seven Deadly Sins today, how are things going?

“Oh, as expected, Mr. Caramel was the culprit. First of all, all that the Academy and Seongguk have figured out is that a fierce battle took place. “There were no traces left.”

“Is that so?”

After hearing the unexpected answer, I was puzzled and remained silent for a moment.

I naturally feel that way. Talking Skull, I think that damn thief did the cleaning for me.

‘No, what on earth is he doing?’

He was a man whose movements were difficult to guess. Judging from the fact that they poured an expensive potion on the fallen me and even removed any traces of battle, it seems that they are clearly not enemies.

-“This marble is mine now.”

Not only did they take away my beads, but they even mocked me, so it doesn’t seem like they like me.

“Anyway, are you okay?”

I was closing my eyes tightly because my head was pounding, but I heard Lily’s worried voice.

When I opened her eyes, I saw Lily holding my hand tightly and looking up at me with her eyes full of worry.

“It looks like you used that power…”

“I had no choice. It was none other than the Seven Deadly Sins. So, will you please stop smashing her head?”

“Pfft. “I am a stuck-up person, but not to that extent.”

When I asked playfully, Lily answered with a bright smile on her pretty face.

I always think about it, but there seems to be something about those pretty eyes that secretly stimulates men’s hearts.

“Well, since you’ve come this far, I’ll take a look. Would you like to lie down first?”

“Thank you.”

Lily let go of her hand and glanced at her own bed, and since she wasn’t feeling well, I didn’t hesitate to lay her body down.

“You must have overextended yourself.”

Lily, who was examining my delicate body with her hand, smiled in a dark way for some reason, and then she continued her words while holding my hand.

“You should sleep in today.”

Huh?
